I am pleased to announce to readers my 2021 Wurlitzer 150 project.
Unlike my last project of ten rolls, this project is only five rolls,
making the price quite a bit less.
The first roll is a brand new arranged roll of more modern tunes:
well-known melodies from Broadway, movies and radio. Featuring classics
like "Seventy Six Trombones", "A Spoonful Of Sugar", and "New York,
New York", this is sure to be a favorite. Each tune was carefully
picked to work on the Wurlitzer 150 scale beautifully.
The next two are composites of early red paper rolls. These exceedingly
rare rolls were made for early Wurlitzer 150 roll organs with a short
tracker roll frame, a design replaced in the mid-teens by the ten-tune
roll frame. The two composites feature twelve tunes each from the early
ragtime era. These arrangements date from an era where trumpet organs
were king and feature special embellishments in the counter-melody that
you don't get in later music.
Finally, the last two are recuts of 1920s and '30s Wurlitzer rolls.
The bouncy Wurlitzer arrangements of this era are really terrific, and
both rolls feature hits of the years they were released.
More information on these rolls -- tune titles, audio clips, and a fun
promotional video -- can be found on my website:

Please keep in mind that these rolls are offered only as a set.
